Detailed visual description
Four boxes present net profit margin, total asset turnover, the equity multiplier, and return on equity. Multiplication signs connect the first three and an equals sign leads to return on equity. The caption warns that the shared sales and average-asset terms cancel only when definitions, amounts, periods, and averaging conventions align; the arithmetic identity alone is not a causal explanation.

Review notes
- OpenAI correctly preferred an equation bridge and surfaced the cancellation boundary.
- Its proposed args used unsupported left_expression and bridge_steps fields, so the central renderer rejected the raw proposal.
- The retained proposal was manually translated into the supported terms/operators grammar without adding facts.
